      Most detailers certainly prefer the flat over LC's ccs design.e even their Hyde tech pads are much better. The CCS pads are more difficult, especially on curved panels, to control and they do wear out much faster.

      If you are using a DAT compound or polish, the CCS pads will continue to release the medium during the buffing cycle and not allow for a proper cycle. They are unbearable on a rotary IME, somewhat bearable on a D/A. Keep in mind this is just my experience, others may differ, not an absolute.

      Either way, you are more than welcome to come over to my place and try out the d/a and rotary if you are up to it, of course on your own paint

          I've used both the ccs pads and the flat pads from lake country. Definitely like the flat Better.

          The most important thing is to prime your pads before you get started. Massage the product into the pad a little with your fingers so the product applies more evenly and eliminates dry spots in the pad.

            I've been all over the Meguiars MF pads. Rarely do they not do the job for me. Cut amazing, easy to clean, finish well.

              +1 00kbgt, I spray a mist of ONR diluted to the QD level at the beginning of a cycle as well especially when using compounds that flash quick like M105 and perfect it.

              Counterfiend- have you tried the Optimum pads? They have lasted me longer IME. It's great using less product with them, but not all paint is the same.

                Haven't found paint yet that doesn't react well to the MF pads. I rarely use foam for correction and typically that is single stage with heavy oxidation.

                  I've only used ccs pads with my da. This thread has me thinking about ordering the flat pads.
